stitch exterior croppedStitch! is now back to opening six days a week and activities in the shop are recommencing, alongside online sessions using Zoom.

Opening hours are now:

  • Tuesday-Friday 10-2pm
  • Saturday 10-3pm

On every other Wednesday evening there's a drop-in Stitching Circle at the shop led by Sharon Wallin. It's a big shop with room for proper social distancing and the £5 fee includes a glass or wine or a soft drink. Even though it's a drop-in it would help plan if you could book in advance.

On Thursday mornings you can Knit and Natter online from 11am to 12 noon.

If you're keen to learn how to crochet, beginners classes are back, alongside crochet refresher clinics. Later in the year you can learn some more advanced crochet techniques - corner-to-corner, Tunisian crochet and making crochet baskets.

And during the summer holidays Stitch! are running a series of craft and sewing activities for kids, all online using Zoom - see below.
